I agree with you on this. Women are more than just sex, they can be wonderful companionship. They have a different default point of view than men, and it's important that men be familiar and embrace the feminine point of view for a more complete interpretation of the world. My girlfriend has opened my eyes to perspectives I never would have considered as a man because I was thinking in rational terms and not emotional. It's forced me to look inward and release a lot of internal restraints I plac…

Agreed that OP is a bit too much in his head on the first dates. Everyone past twenty-five has regrets, sometimes major, and maybe an ex or two that they still sort of pine for. But if the girl is still open for dating and hanging out and doesn't show signs of major attachment to the ex it's probably not a huge deal. Lots of guys have regrets about one or two ladies they let get away. Even people in decades-long relationships occasionally have thoughts of "what if" and "I miss that one guy/girl,…

I failed so many shit tests in the past that there is no way she should respect me she talked me into going to the ER Bro, even if she doesn't "respect" you she still cares about you, and probably loves you, just not in the way you subconsciously desire. From your replies there seems to be a lot of deeper issues you need to face without getting her involved. Put the red pill stuff to the side for the moment. You need to focus on your health, both physical and mental. Not just for you but for you…

I'm thirty-six as well and I feel like a goddamn sexual Tyrannosaurus. Either have to take care of it myself or become a raging sex maniac. Though I will admit that the refractory and recovery periods have become longer. Sometimes I need an hour long nap before the next round.

None of us live nearby. We all have to drive minimum of twenty minutes to get to each other, and we don't work together. It takes serious effort to get together, and none of us have really shared some hardcore friendship experiences. You need to find guys who are nearby, are enjoyable to be around, and have s…

Jon's Body Language Mastery course was worth every goddamn penny. The dude is legit.

The only meaning of life I have thought of that makes any sense is that life is here solely to make poop. Every living thing creates waste. It's one of the major common threads to every living creature. So that's gotta be one of the big meanings of life. To make poop. Now, with that out of the way, go stir some shit and enjoy your day.

I'm a professional mechanic and do woodworking as a hobby, as well as a project car and gardening. I take care of my hands, but they definitely have their battle scars. One finger has a permanent crook due to a work injury that required pins. I'm a leanish guy, and have surgeon-style hands with long thin fingers and lean forearms. My girl loves it when I do mechanic work or build her stuff. And I've had other girls give me looks when I'm wearing my work uniform. All that wrenching works the fore…

My mom systematically forced my dad out of the house bit by bit, until he finally had enough and cheated. By the time she kicked him out he was down to the back bathroom and a card table by his side of the bed. Never mind the fact that he was the sole breadwinner with a take-home of almost $200k in the late nineties, and owned his own business. No, he was a horrible man that ruined her life. Now he's old, infirm, can't walk, and can't do much because of years of drinking. And mom is thinking of …

I would add The Automatic Millionaire to the list of recommended reading. It's the easiest, most unobtrusive way to save money hands down. After a month you don't even realize you're saving money. Start with just a high interest savings account like Ally Bank. Even just $25 or $50 a week. Slowly build up your reserves. Check it in a year and see how you're doing. After that, start doing $50 a week into an investment or retirement account. As you start making more money at jobs, increase the amou…

You have to have accountability, even if it's just to yourself. Start small. Pick one thing that you want to change and do it for thirty days, and keep track of it. When I decided I wanted to cut down on my drinking, I got a regular twelve month calendar. Every day I would write "ND" in black Sharpie for "No Drinking," or "D" in red Sharpie for "Drank" on the previous day if I had drank that night or not. Even if it was just one beer, or a shot of liquor. If I drank alcohol, I marked it down. At…

The only stretching before lifting I found to be worth a damn is stretching muscles that are known to be too tight compared to the other side, and solely to equalize the movement. I have an extremely tight left calf compared to my right, and if I don't stretch it out before doing squats I fold up like a pretzel. Stretching it out first lets me have a better range of motion.

Some girls do it for true love/infatuation reasons. My girlfriend did it to me a lot in the first few years of our relationship, and even now she'll occasionally shower me with little gifts and lots of sex just because she got in a mood where she just adores me. So long as you don't end up getting some severed hamster heads in your lunch pail or she's stalking you everywhere you're probably fine provided you keep your wits about you.

Back when I was really fighting depression and in a bad place I started supplementing with 8,000 units of Vitamin D a day. I had the same reaction as OP: After two weeks I felt incredibly better, and while the depression hadn't gone away completely due to not getting the rest of my life in order, I did feel like I was able to really attack it head on at that point. I worked "outdoors" in southern California, but under an awning all day. I would go out in the sun intermittently from my work area …

While I do lift weights to try and increase my mass, I primarily do it to keep myself healthy and fit.

Auto mechanics don't make much money, and they have to buy all their own tools. Combine that with Flat Rate compensation instead of hourly, super high labor rates that customers don't want to pay, and ever-increasingly complex vehicles and that's a recipe for starvation. Seriously, don't go into auto repair unless you absolutely love it. And even then, get yourself a sugar mama because you won't make a lot of money.

Motorcycles are just a vehicle for the message. The first bit of the book deals with motorcycles and such, but the book itself is really about technology, our relationship to it, our relationship to the idea of Quality, the two main modes of thinking (Romantic and Classical, or in other words, Emotional versus Logical), and how to act within and reconcile the two in our lives.

It took me about thirteen years of practice and countless shots of whiskey to get my voice where I liked how it sounded. Even then, there are days when it sounds too high pitched to me. You're sixteen. Everyone sounds nasally at sixteen. If you really, really want a deeper sounding voice you can do what Rock Hudson did, but that will permanently damage your vocal cords. Just chill and let nature take its course for now. Go take a choir class if you want to learn how to use what you have better.

If you've never talked to yourself out loud, it sounds and feels weird. I grew up with a dad who talked to himself all the time, and I do it myself. I verbalize most of my thoughts, and in doing so, can hear how they sound, which allows me to tweak the way I say them. I also tend to imagine conversations in my head, or try to plan out how I think a conversation is going to go so I rehearse what I say.

If you get a cystic acne outbreak those blister healing pads are fantastic. The hydrocolloid substance in them draws the infection out to the surface, where it has a chance to drain. I used them when I got a WHOPPER of a cystic zit last December that wouldn't respond to popping, hot compresses, or even self-surgery with a pin.

My choral director in high school taught us that if we wanted to be sure we were singing from our chests and throats, then we should pinch our nose when speaking.

Join a choir. You'll learn how to breathe, enunciate, and speak with proper diction, and color your vocal tone. And sometimes, no matter what you do, you'll never drop below tenor.

Move it to the top. It's a famous book for a reason, and while the vernacular and style of writing is a bit dated (It was written in the thirties), it's all still one hundred percent applicable. It's also a pretty easy and entertaining read, so it doesn't really feel like work.

You'd be surprised at what people bring everywhere. When I worked in a record store I had a customer bring in his photo album of when he was a studio musician for pop and rock bands in the 1950s, including with Elvis. No one asked him to do this, and it was the only time I ever saw him in the store in the two and half years I worked there.

It depends on the type of insomnia. The kind where you just can't fall asleep, but stay asleep once you do is fairly easy to correct relative to the others. Work out hard, practice good sleep hygiene, sleep on schedule, and if necessary, take melatonin. Marijuana also helps some, but becomes a crutch. The insomnia that I had, for years, was inability to fall asleep because of racing thoughts, and then I'd wake up two or three times during the night. I got past it with booze, melatonin, and weed,…

In my (somewhat limited) experience, a good woman will not just cheer you on, but cut you down when you need it. It's possible to get a bit too over-excited or gung ho and start getting arrogant instead of confident, and that's when you need someone to get some sense into you. Will it hurt? Yeah. Will your ego get deflated? Yeah. Will it piss you off? More than likely. But once you fix yourself you'll be better, she'll be happy, and you'll both have a better time of it going forward.

Johnny Cash - I'm Leavin' Now Monster Magnet - Silver Future Dan Reeder - Shackles and Chains Dan Reeder - Food and Pussy (No YouTube video available that I can find at work...hmm...) (Lyrics: What do you want? I want food and pussy. How come? It's just the way God made me.) Mavis Staples - Eyes on the Prize …

One trick I've found works decently is to hum "hmm-hmm" progressively lower when you find your voice getting a bit too high. The vibrations seem to loosen up the vocal cords a little. Speak slowly and relaxed as much as possible. When the vocal cords get tight it's almost impossible to loosen them back up without a long rest period, at least in my experience.

Seriously. I'm new to RP, only since early July, but I finally snapped out of being so much of a bitch and started putting a little bit of dread game on my girlfriend because I was sick and tired of her behavior, and it turned her around completely. It's like she was when we first started dating again, and she's now even sending me raunchy texts begging me to do the nastiest things possible to her, something she never used to do. I'm simultaneously amazed and not surprised at it, because I think…

An older coworker of mine used to call this "Getting down to trawlin' weight." Usually in reference to a specific employee of our company that went through three managers before finally moving on.

Make all your saving and investing transactions automatic as well. If your bank is set up to transfer $50 a week or $100 just after every payday, after a month or so you won't even notice it's gone. Set it up and ignore it. Unless you know what you're doing, invest in a target date fund or the S&P 500 index and leave it alone. You'll do much better with low expense ratio funds than you will with stock picking, unless you're a financial wizard. Read Bogleheads. Tons of good info there.

That is exactly what happened to my parents. Mom got fat and emotionally abusive and rationalized it by "having to take care of you boys," dad got to wandering, and now he's living alone and in the past and she's in a house full of knick-knacks and crap while my brother and I try to stay the hell away most of the time. I love my mom, she's a smart and loving lady, but her smothering behavior set me back socially for years and now she's crippled with anxiety and an inferiority complex. My dad is …

The phrase, "Life's hard. It's even harder if you're stupid," comes to mind.

The shop's also liable if they screw it up. If you forget to tighten the drain plug or put the oil in the engine failure's on your own dime. Sometimes it's worth it to pay someone to do it because of the cost liability alone.

Whenever I see a new guy at work trying to do too much too fast I always tell them, "Slow down; you'll go faster." Taking the time to do something right will prevent having to take more time to correct your mistakes.

If you don't want to go the prostitute route, go to a strip club. I felt the same way as you for a while, even after being in a long relationship with a girl who would be down for sex almost all the time. But I was massively depressed for the last two years, because I didn't actually feel wanted. Went to a strip club during my brother's bachelor party a month ago, with the express intent to get some tits in my face and actually feel like the girl wanted to do it, even if I was paying her for it.…

This song came on my phone while I was at the gym yesterday, and I thought it describes new guys reading this sub for the first time and having an epiphany pretty well. Monster Magnet - Silver Future What kinda creature do we have here? It feels like love, but it smells like fear Look in the mirror, baby, what do you dream? Look at it harder now and you start to scream We're findin' out what drives your machine You stand on the edge of a silver future

Listen to a lot of country music by female artists. The majority of the songs are about either getting mad about their man cheating on them and they go berserk, or about wanting a man with a big ranch, truck, lots of money, and acting like an old school cowboy for them.

I found that just focusing on one room a day is the best strategy for me. I'll start working on it, and if I get a little bored I'll go off and do something else for a little while, then come back and work some more. It may take an eight hour shift to clean the kitchen, but I'm not doing it so hard that I make myself miserable and start hating the action of cleaning, and the kitchen actually gets cleaner because now I'm able to focus on details for longer. It may take longer overall, but the qua…

I'd wager a lot of people reading the stuff here didn't grow up with a father figure or proper training in household and personal responsibilities, so it's highly conceivable that they need to be told like they're five years old again. And sometimes you may know it, were trained on how to do it, and/or had a strong father type when you were growing up but have let yourself falter, and just need a swift kick in the ass.

PF is great from a value standpoint. Ten bucks a month to have access to decent cardio and weight machines, and my PF is open 24 hours five days a week. I'm fine with that, since I'm not an insane lifter yet, and focus more on cardiovascular endurance anyway. It's all about how you use what you have available anyway. Ignore all the other people there, just do your own thing.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
